Summary/Abstract: In the context of global “postmodernity” as an urgent reconstruction of post-modern societies of Western Europe (in the sense of finalising the phase of realisation of the new humanity), the Author of the considerations undertakes the matter of the Catholic theological culture - as an actual civilisational compass for the Christian identity of European societies. The Author puts forward the thesis that the newly created Catholic theological culture, providing for one’s realisation in terms of the subject’s glorification of being alive, is able to successfully overcome the cultural and moral confusion, together with the deliberately invoked existential misplacement amongst consumer societies. It manifests itself culturally in terms of interpersonal relations of efficiency of “the wisdom of the mind” (theoría), grasping the theos, contained in the physis of the reality and the theology as faith in statu scientiae “comprehending” the sense of the Word revealed in the creation and its focus in the history of humanity in the Jesus–Christ Event.
